- ½ tsp (2 g) Ground Cinnamon

For toppings
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1 g) Nutmeg
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Bring the apple cider to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and reduce it to 3/4 cup (180 ml). Reserve 1/2 cup (120 ml) for the batter and 1/4 cup (60 ml) for finishing. Let cool.
- Melt the 8 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
- Mix the cooled 1/2 cup of reduced cider with the sour cream and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar for about 2 minutes until pale yellow and frothy, then whisk in the melted butter.
- Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the cider–sour cream mixture in two additions. Mix until combined.
- Butter and parchment-line a 9 × 5-inch (23 × 13 cm) loaf pan. Fill with batter and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 60–80 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. The cake in the video took 60 minutes.
- Poke the baked cake with a toothpick and spoon over 3 tablespoons of the reserved reduced cider. Leave the final tablespoon for the coating.
- Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter with the remaining tablespoon of reduced cider. Unmould the cake and brush the top and sides with this mixture.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and pinch of salt listed for the topping. Sprinkle over the top and coat the sides of the cake.
